Student representatives can be found in the following areas of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences:
The University's Student Council is made up of representatives of the Faculty Student Committees. As an organ of the student body, it represents the interests of the student body as a legal entity of the university and is responsible for the interests of students throughout the university.
All students of a faculty (sometimes also of a department) form the student council. Students can elect a Faculty Student Committee as a co-determination body. The Faculty Student Committee represents the interests of its students and elects student members to the Faculty Council, the Study Commission and the Examination and Practice Committee. The Faculty Student Committees form the University's Student Council. Active participation as an elected student representative can lead to recognition of a longer standard period of study.
